Long-awaited monumental
monograph on the work of
David Claerbout.
David Claerbout is known for his video installations, which he exhibits worldwide. From the time of his first video works in the mid-1990s, his work rapidly gained in complexity. Virtual photography pushed his work and thinking towards a far-reaching synthetic visual practice that placed him at the forefront of the new media art. From that position, Claerbout developed a critique of the impact of the disintegration of the familiar photographic image at the level of perception and (sensory) cognition and its profound social and political consequences.
This richly illustrated publication presents a selection of works from the past ten years. In an interview with Jonathan Pouthier, film curator at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, David Claerbout speaks in depth for the first time about these works in relation to current discussions about photography, film and the virtual.
The publication coincides with the Venice Biennale 2022 and solo exhibitions in various cities including Munich, Berlin, Budapest and New York.
